Unfortunately, 2010 has been a year where I spent most of my time watching movies and listening to music rather than watching the great dramas of 2010. I believe that I should not rate a drama without watching it because the only drama I loyally followed in 2010 was 내 여자친구는 구미호 (My Girlfriend Is A Nine-Tailed Fox). I am still in love with that drama, period. I ship Dimple Couple forever.

2010 in general has been a great year in the Korean music industry and also for my own local music industry. I listen to almost every genre and although I am sticking with my bias forever—I am still open to any kind of music. I don't need anyone to bash me and my list because this is honestly what I like from 2010. I don't need any bashing or critics, because I am free to tell anyone what I like. I am free to listen to what you have to say—about your favorites from 2010.

At least I have finally witnessed my bias won awards for their excellent work in 2010. I love watching their success—and now I feel like a freaking mother to all those gorgeous boys. I also enjoy watching the success of others so let us say goodbye to 2010 and welcome 2011, in hope that it will bring even more happiness and success.

How I Found Seunghyun and Jonghyun Together

I am bored today thus I spend my early morning surfing through Nate and Naver though I don’t understand much of what I am reading. I came across something that I have been dying to know and this morning I have my wonders answered. I have been searching for this one particular video for almost a year and now the search is finally over. Now I sound like an announcer or something. So here I am, writing a post of my craziness of Friday morning. I haven’t done this for a long time so yeah, I am sort of back with it.

You can watch the video HERE.

Before you start cursing me let me explain. This is actually a promo video (Korean call it as school UCC) of a high school in Korea 서울공연예술고등학교 (School of Performing Arts Seoul) and of course, if you are pretty much a creeper or a stalker like me, you will have to know that three members of FT Island which are Lee Jaejin, Choi Minhwan and Song Seunghyun attended this school. Other than them, CN Blue member Lee Jonghyun, T-Ara member Jiyeon and probably (though not quite sure about this) F(x) member Sulli attended the same high school. It is a high school that highly focuses on arts - performance arts, fine arts, etc.

Skip all the beginning of the video and jump right to 03:29. If you have also been a lurker in SOOMPI, you’ll know that there have been several .gif pictures that involve Seunghyun in some kind of CF and here it is. He enrolled the school before he joined FT Island thus he appeared in the promo video of his high school. I think that he participate in this UCC before he joined FT Island.

Now skip to 03:43 and you will amazingly found - none other than Lee Jonghyun of CN Blue. I was a bit taken back when I saw it but hey, come to think about it…it makes sense. He did mention that he left his high school a year late than any of the students in his age. Aha, two FNC Music trainees in a UCC. I have made it big this time.

Okay, let us all skip to 05:07 and you will find the first two celebrities who enroll the school in 2008. It will be Lee Jaejin and Choi Minhwan of FT Island. There have been several news about their enrolment to the school in 2008 during their “사랑후애 (After Love)” promotion times. I don’t know what the hell they are talking about but I am sure it is something about their school.

found via shyssh @ SILH0UETTE
I maybe bias but I think Seunghyun is quite active in participating with his high school’s activities. I have found many pictures of him at school - with so many female students around him. Jaejin and Minhwan might be known for studying there but I rarely found any pictures of them at school. There are some, but not as much as Seunghyun's. But maybe I can't find them. Even in Hangul Island season 2 he did mentioned that he participated in the decorations for the Teacher’s Day celebration that he attended with Jaejin and Minhwan. In another show, Style Wave, he did appeared at the beginning in his school uniform, saying that he has just came back from an examination at school.

Right, I am enough with my craziness for Friday. It has been a creepy Friday for me who has been in a stalker mode all morning. Hey, at least I got my questions about where did the .gif pictures come from answered so I am very satisfied. I need to pack my bag for tomorrow. I am going to go on a two days and one night trip with my family on a tour bus for the first time in my life. We are going to the beach and just have fun if I could. I need to fit so many things inside a small bag.

First Place Winner .

Title; First Place Winner .
Side Note; Congratulations !!

This finally happens. Finally, an artist from FNC Music wins first place on KBS Music Bank!

CN Blue proves that they are indeed the SUPER ROOKIE of 2010 by winning first place in KBS Music Bank K-Chart against Jokwon & Gain as well as T-Ara. OMG ~ the votes are so high. Congratulations to CN Blue for their successful debut. This is only the third week they performed and they already surpass their seniors.

I am practically screaming in happiness when I watch how they are announced as the winners. My mom is happy for their success too. I am so happy for their success and I wish it continues for next week ( before you-know-who comes back ). They surely proves they are not just a rookie, but surely a super rookie. Well, should we aim for the Mutizen Award on SBS Inkigayo this Sunday? I say, why not?

Way to go FNC Family!
축하해!

Doesn’t it feels great to hear the word “…FNC Music…” in the thank you wish? I read some comments saying that 2010 might be a good year for MNET Family, which somehow included MNET Media itself, FNC Music, Core Content Media ( Davichi, Supernova, T-Ara, SG Wannabe, Lee Hyori ). Will it really be possible that 2010 is the year of MNET?

President Han must be so proud of these wonderful boys.

One Day in a Girl's Life.

Waa ~ so many things happened today!

First of all, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILADHA everyone!
How was everyone’s hari raya?
Eat well?
Did you receive Korban meat?

I celebrated my Hari Raya Aidiladha at my older brother’s house,
Because we are bored of always gathering together at my parents’ house.
My sister-in-law cooked delicious meals,
And we watched a great movie while having chatting loudly.
Ah ~ my loud family.
I discovered that my elder brother owned a Facebook.
I am not sure whether that is acceptable or just weird.

Second thing that happened ;
NO ~ 미남이시네요 had ended last night!
Overall it was a satisfying ending and it concluded very well.
I am very happy to be a part of those crazy fans of this drama, who lived throughout the past two months loving this drama from the beginning to the end.
I’m going to miss Taekyung’s lips thingy, Minam/Minyeo's cluelessness, Shinwoo’s sweetness and Jeremy’s dorkiness.
Oh, and not to forget Manager Ma’s foolishness.
Did anyone see how Manager Ma dragged Jeremy away by feet on the last episode?
And I think I have a girl-crush on the real Minam too ㅋㅋㅋ
Not to forget, I have two special post on 미남이시네요 to be post soon, so please visit often in case I posted it.
It will be a very special post - I am putting all of my hard work on those two posts!
제르미씨, 사라해~

Third topic will be,
T-Ara released their first album and it is AWESOME!
I had never been this excited about a girls group’s album for so long.
Every song in the album is great - not a song skipped throughout the whole album!
I am so going to get myself the album.
Right now my favorite is 처음처럼 (Like The First Time), Bye Bye and Say Goodbye.
Say Goodbye totally has the same feeling as Time To Love,
And Bye Bye is just too awesome to forget.
Though their image remind me of Brown Eyed Girls ; I don’t care.
I really don’t care.
I am hoping they are going to choose 처음처럼 (Like The First Time) as their title track because I liked this song way better than Bo Peep Bo Peep.
But seriously, every song is good to listen too.
Their first album is surely great.
I wish nothing but success for them.
티아라, 화이팅!

I’d update my DeviantArt gallery with lots of wallpapers lately,
So please - if you want FT Island, KARA or A.N.JELL’s wallpapers, visit my DeviantArt!
I put a lot of effort on those wallpapers and I loved everything.
For those Shinwoo’s lovers, I made one special wallpaper of him.
Go and get it!
I’ll love to hear comments and positive criticism so don’t be afraid to speak up your mind about my designs in which had been getting similar to each other lately.
I’ll improve, don’t worry!

I’m considering my older sister’s offer of becoming her son’s full-time baby-sitter,
Because I think it’s a right thing to do and she wants to pay me too.
I am not quite sure about it but I am giving it a deep thought.
I am free for a month and it doesn’t hurt to have my nephews at home with me.
But I’ll think about it better.
Before December comes of course.

That’s all I needed to say today.
It had been a long tiring day for me.
I think I need my long good night sleep or else I’ll be a panda bear tomorrow morning, with heavy eyebags.
That will be the last thing I want because I don’t need to look horrible tomorrow ; I have to attend my session and wake up early or else I’ll be dead.

정말 싫어요~

T-Ara & Supernova Special Project, T.T.L (Time To Love).

urasiansourceKpop

SUPERNOVA!
OMG~I can't remember the last time I go crazy over another boys' group.
Finally, my hottie-hot-hottie(s) boys from Supernova are making their comeback.
Almost though.

I am sure most K-Pop fans had heard about this.
Core Content Media's 2 groups, Supernova (also known as 초친성) and T-Ara are going to collaborate for a special project group called "T.T.L (Time To Love).
T-Ara's Hyomin, Soyeon, Eunjung and Jiyeon.
Supernova's Geonil, Jihyuk and Gwangsu.
Altogether for one awesome special project.
I was freaking excited about the project group.

My two loves (except for FT Island of course) are collaborating.
What could be better?

The song and the MV (wow, full set) are released today!
Gosh, I can't believe it is out today.

I am freaking love the song.
I am addicted to this song - I am not kidding.
The tune and the vocals totally suit each other and for heaven's sake,
Finally I found a song (this year) which doesn't use autotune.
My ears are going to bleed excessively after too much autone lately.
The only songs I can hear without autotunes might just be from FT Island, Lee Seunggi and MNET (this include Core Content Media's artists).
I want this song to be a hit.
A big hit!
No more autotune, melody destroyer computerized songs please.
Please let "Time To Love" to be a big hit.

GOD bless whoever make this song.

The song is called "Time To Love",
And T-Ara's Q-Ri, Supernova's Geonil (ahh! My favorite member) with a minor appearance of T-Ara's Boram starred in the MV.
Nice MV for a very awesome song.
A sad cliche love story (well, MNET does have lots and lots of heart-breaking MVs anyway) with a very nice setting.

One thing I totally like is the choreograph.
It is GREAT, I mean totally awesome.
The pointing part kind of reminding me off "I Don't Care",
But this is so much better.
I want to learn the dance now!

This is my current addiction.
Hyomin is freaking beautiful with golden hair,
And so is Soyeon with long extensions.
Geonil ~ I am still in love with him after all these years.
His new hair color, all my favorite boys are going for a lighter colors and I am loving each and every one of it.

The vocals are awesome and yeay for no-autotunes.
Who says good songs must be autotune-ed?
Even good vocals (glares at FT Island, T-Ara, Davichi, Lee Seunggi) can produce top-quality upbeat songs.

Perish, autotunes.

"Time To Love" is the perfect dose for me,
To recover from excessive girls' groups and autotunes songs.
Finally, a top quality song to fill my ears.

Now, all I need to do is wait for Lee Seunggi's comeback.

T-Ara's 거짓말 Part 1 MV

Video Credit to ;; SMarie7 @ YouTube

I didn't went online for a day and there is like a thousand updates I needed to catch up with. OMG ~ I am already tired of reading too much news this morning. So, T-Ara had their official debut on MBC Radio Star on 29th July, yesterday, but unfortunately, I didn't watch that show, so don't ask me how the girls did in that variety show. I don't know, all that I know is that the girls showed their own personal talents. That's all. Enough. I don't know more.

The MV of T-Ara's song, 거짓말 Part 1 had also been released, staring 대한민국 남동생 or translated as South Korea's Little Brother, Yoo Seungho. Honestly, I think he is cute, but I don't actually go crazy on him so yeah, practically I am too biased to like him what-so-ever. The teaser was released several days ago and the MV was released yesterday. For me, I loved the MV. As I said before, the concept of the MV was six girls dating one man, so obviously it was a case of deceiving loves, just like how the title meant. The MV was almost well-made, almost perfect and the acting by the six girls of T-Ara (Jiyeon, Hyomin, Q-ri, Soyeon, Eunjung, Boram) were awesome. I think the girls, especially Hyomin and Boram looked extra beautiful in the MV. I loved their parts, somehow linked together. Jiyeon was the one riding the motorbike with Seungho, Eunjung the one he danced with at the club, Hyomin was the one with camera, Boram was the one riding the bike with Seungho, and I think Soyeon was the one having dinner at the restaurant while Q-ri was the one who baked cake with Seungho, right? I am not sure about Soyeon and Q-ri since I couldn't really differentiate the two of them yet, so forgive me if I got it mixed up and wrong. The MV suit the song very well, and I could actually feel the emotions showed by the girls. How the girls hated being deceit, and I adored the beginning of the MV, when a girl (couldn't recognized who though) threw a glass towards the TV. The clothes they wore in the MV looked awesome too. The choreograph for the song seemed to be fun too, it actually made me wanted to learn it.

Okay, now that the MV had been released, we have a better look at who sing which part. I am not sure about the singing part, but I believed all the girls have strong vocals to start with. One thing that I found interesting was that, Hyomin, my favorite member of T-Ara was actually the one who raps in the song. Wow, that's a shocker. I thought her voice sounded different when she sang the ballad for Cinderella Man's OST. Well, this made me wonder though. Why is it, all the of my favorite members from almost all groups seemed to be the rapper? Hyomin, the rapper. Seunghyun, the rapper. Wonbin, used to be the rapper. Nicole, the sometimes-rapper. Eunhyuk, rapper. Yoobin, the rapper. OMG ~ as much as I loved reviewing on vocals, it seemed I loved rappers more. Among all the girls' vocals, I think I liked Boram's voice the most. I might be slightly biased over her, but I think I'd seen her in KBS Star Golden Bell with her father, if I am not mistaken and I actually liked her. Her image, she showed an innocence of a girl, that's kind of made me slightly biased over her. Hyomin, have a strong resemblence of SNSD member, Jessica and I realized this ever since she appeared in FT Island's Heaven MV. Eunjung was also my favorite because she looked mature and friendly, and not to mention beautiful even after she acted a the ghost for the movie 고사 and got her heart broken by Hongki in 천동 MV.

As a conclusion, 거짓말 Part 1 had already been my favorite so far so the MV made the song sounded way better. I loved it, and this MV made me want to fall in love with Yoo Seungho too. He is extremely cute. Now, what is left to do is to watch today's MNET M!Countdown where the six girls of T-Ara will have their debut performance. I am wondering how they will perform. Will it be okay? Or will be not?

One thing excited me now other than that is waiting for tomorrow's KBS Music Bank live on KBS World. I got to watch FT Island, KARA and T-Ara altogether on one LIVE music show. I hope tomorrow is going to be the best Friday ever, except for me still being sick.

20090712 Awesome Sunday I ;; 사랑의 베데리 Feat. Davichi & Seeya

Video Credit to ;; dnjfghk @ YouTube

Three of my favorite female artistes together on one stage and sang one of my favorite song - now that's an awesome Sunday.
This was from today's 인기가요, a special performance of Hong Jinyoung's 사랑의 밧데리 (Remix Version) featuring Davichi & Seeya.
They even wore those similar pink short dresses (which I thought was from the 여성시대 performance with Jiyeon of T-Ara)
But I absolutely loved the whole performance itself!

It was quite a dissapointment to have Jinyoung sang only the choruses, but I totally loved Davichi and Seeya too.
Jinyoung couldn't have much line of her own song due to those powerful vocals of Davichi and Seeya.
The five girls looked amazing on stages, though sometimes I missed having Davichi and Seeya sang their powerful overly-emotional ballads like they used too.
It's refreshing to see Davichi and Seeya do trot, but I think trot fit Hong Jinyoung more.

I used to be biased over Davichi but when I saw Jinyoung among the two famous groups, she totally stood out.
I like her the most and she looked amazing on stage, with her pink dress though everyone wore the same dresses and the small ribbon attached to her hair made her looked even cuter.
She is so pretty!

One thing I don't really like was the choreograph, which seemed to be more influenced by 여성시대 and eventually erased away the 사랑의 밧데리 dance sequence (the hand thingy and the jjang sign though the jjang sign was still there).
I recognized some dance from the 여성시대.

Enough spamming.
Enjoy the great performance of 사랑의 밧데리 (Remix Version)!

New Music ;; 여성시대/영원한 사랑

Guess what?

I am addicted to T-Ara's song right now.

Can't get it out from my tiny head.

여성시대/영원한 사랑

Loosely romanized as Yeoseung Shidae/Youngwonhan Sarang ;

Easily translated as Woman Generation/Forever Love.

A new OST for Cinderella Man.

No, I don't watch that drama.

Because that girl is in it.

Wasn't a big fan of her.

But the song - sang by Seeya, Davichi and Jiyeon from T-Ara,

Is currently being played on repeat on my Windows Media Player.

Their voices are awesome.

It's addicting.

Like a mix of comboy tune, trot and pop altogether.

I like it so much!

MNET never failed to make me like their artist.

They produced the best artists - vocals and appearances bases.
